Paloma | Cocktail Party

Paloma

You’d be forgiven for assuming the famous Margarita is Mexico’s most popular cocktail – but in fact it’s the humble Paloma that takes the prize. The Paloma is one of our favorite all-time drinks – it’s easy to make, delicious, and wonderfully refreshing.

We define a Paloma as being made with grapefruit soda rather than juice; for a fresh take, search for the “Paloma Fresca” instead. We’re partial to Jarritos for the grapefruit soda, but Fresca and Squirt are tasty as well.

Ingredients

Instructions

Build in the order given in an ice-filled tall glass. Garnish with a wedge of lime or grapefruit.

Cocktail Party app on tablets and phones

Get the App

The Cocktail Party app puts this drink – and hundreds more – in your pocket, and tells you what you can make from the ingredients you have at home. It's the best $3.99 you'll ever spend on a drink.

Game Changer

This is a game changer. When you're at the liquor store, thinking, "Yeah, ok fine what does Ancho Reyes liquor get me?" you open the app, look up Chile liquor and see that it gets you like 11 new cocktails. This is addictive, and indeed worth the price. We're having a blast under quarantine. While some of the ingredients are kind of anonymous, the icons look like the Campari bottle, and the descriptions often tell you if Campari will work or if you need Aperol. If you <3 cocktails, get this.
